Why More Nova Scotians Are Switching to Heat Pumps？
Across Nova Scotia, more and more homeowners are choosing heat pumps to make their homes more efficient and comfortable. It’s easy to see why. Compared to older oil or electric systems, a heat pump can keep your home cozy in winter, cool in summer, and help you save money on energy every month.
Energy Efficiency That Lowers Your Bills
A heat pump doesn’t create heat like a furnace or baseboard heater. It moves it. By transferring warmth from the outdoor air into your home, it uses far less electricity than traditional systems. That efficiency can cut your heating costs by as much as 50 percent, which is a big deal during long Nova Scotia winters.
For many Halifax homeowners, switching to a heat pump means enjoying the same comfort while paying less and using cleaner energy.
Ducted or Ductless: There’s a System for Every Home
No two homes are exactly the same, and that’s what makes heat pumps so versatile.
- If your home already has ductwork, a ducted heat pump can distribute warm air evenly throughout your house.
- If not, a ductless mini-split system can heat and cool individual rooms independently.
That flexibility makes heat pumps a great fit for everything from century homes to new builds across Nova Scotia.
Rebates and Incentives for Nova Scotia Homeowners
Upgrading to a heat pump is more affordable than many homeowners think. Thanks to Efficiency Nova Scotia and the Canada Greener Homes Grant, you may qualify for rebates of up to $15,000 toward your installation.
That’s real money back for choosing a more efficient, eco-friendly way to heat your home.

Good for Your Home and the Planet
Switching to a heat pump isn’t just a smart move for your wallet, it’s also a step toward a cleaner future.
Heat pumps use renewable energy from the air, which means fewer greenhouse gas emissions and a smaller carbon footprint for your household.
